It is a decision that impacts one’s future in a variety of ways. At Union University we are ready to help students enter the changing world of the 21st PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Century. The mission of Union University is to provide Christ-centered educa- tion that promotes excellence and character development in service to Church and society. Union University is committed to academic excellence. No, we are not a giant research institution, but Union is a learner-centered institution where class- room teaching is prized. We enable students to be grounded in the world of literature, values, ideals, history, ethics, arts, music, communication, and cre- ativity. The most important assets on the Union campus are our students and our well prepared, highly motivated faculty. We expect the faculty to model excellence for our students while challenging them to pursue excellence in all areas of their lives. Education at Union is not only excellence driven, it is Christ centered. This means more than having a campus minister and regular chapel programs— as important as these are. It means a commitment to the serious integration of faith and learning. This involves a holistic approach to education with the goal of having students who are both Christianly informed and Christianly formed. As you ponder the important decision of choosing a college, we invite 3 you to consider Union—a person-centered, student-oriented community. We invite you to consider Union—a university that is Baptist by tradition and evan- gelical by conviction. We invite you to consider Union—a community commit- ted to academic excellence under the Lordship of Christ. We invite you to con- sider Union—where the exciting process of higher education is alive and well to prepare you for a life of learning and service. David S. Dockery An Overview Statement of Purpose Identity and Mission Our Identity: Union University is an academic community, affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention, equipping persons to think Christianly and serve faithfully in ways con- sistent with its core values of being Christ-centered, people-focused, excellence-driven, and future-directed. These values shape its identity as an institution which prioritizes OVERVIEW liberal arts based undergraduate education enhanced by professional and graduate pro- grams. The academic community is composed of quality faculty, staff, and students working together in a caring, grace-filled environment conducive to the development of character, servant leadership, and cultural engagement. Our Mission: Union University provides Christ-centered higher education that promotes excel- lence and character development in service to Church and society. Core Values • Excellence-Driven: We believe that excellence, not mere compliance, is the goal of our teaching, our research, and our service. We are not motivated to excellence out of pride but out of a desire to do all things for God’s glory because He cares about our work and wants to be involved in everything we do. We will not be satisfied with mediocrity but will pursue excellence in all things. This means our truth claims carry 4 with them the challenge of living out that truth in the minutes and hours of our daily life. Thus we will pursue excellence, without arrogance. • Christ-Centered: A cohering core value of our guiding vision is a call to faith, a call to be Christ centered in all that we are and in all that we do. We will seek to build a Christian liberal arts based community where men and women can be introduced to an understanding and appreciation of God, His creation and grace, and to humanity’s place of privilege and responsibility in this world. We will seek to establish all as- pects of life and learning on the Word of God, leading to a firm commitment to Christ and His Kingdom. To be a Christ-centered institution calls for us to establish the priority of worship and service in the Christian life while seeking to develop a gen- eration of students who can be agents of reconciliation to a factious church in a hurt- ing and broken world. This commitment calls for all faculty and staff to integrate Christian faith in all learning and doing, based on the supposition that all truth is God’s truth and that there is no contradiction between God’s truth made known to us in Holy Scripture and that which is revealed to us through creation and natural revelation. • People-Focused: A third pillar on which we will build our common commitments is the core value of being people focused. At the heart of our commitment to being people focused is the visible demonstration of valuing one another. We will give honor to one another through our words and actions, and by committing to each person’s success. We therefore jointly commit ourselves to the success of Union Uni- versity. • Future-Directed: We will seek to maximize the windows of opportunity the Lord has presented to us to the greatest degree that resources allow. All of our resources and efforts must, by God’s grace, be maximized to fulfill our common mission. A commitment to being future directed

  • Hell: Never, Forever, Or Just for Awhile?
    TMSJ 9/2 (Fall 1998) 129-145 HELL: NEVER, FOREVER, OR JUST FOR AWHILE? Richard L. Mayhue Senior Vice President and Dean Professor of Theology and Pastoral Ministries The plethora of literature produced in the last two decades on the basic nature of hell indicates a growing debate in evangelicalism that has not been experienced since the latter half of the nineteenth century. This introductory article to the entire theme issue of TMSJ sets forth the context of the question of whether hell involves conscious torment forever in Gehenna for unbelievers or their annihilation after the final judgment. It discusses historical, philosophical, lexical, contextual, and theological issues that prove crucial to reaching a definitive biblical conclusion. In the end, hell is a conscious, personal torment forever; it is not “just for awhile” before annihilation after the final judgment (conditional immortality) nor is its final retribution “never” (universalism). * * * * * A few noted evangelicals such as Clark Pinnock,1 John Stott,2 and John Wenham3 have in recent years challenged the doctrine of eternal torment forever in hell as God’s final judgment on all unbelievers. James Hunter, in his landmark “sociological interpretation” of evangelicalism, notes that “. it is clear that there is a measurable degree of uneasiness within this generation of Evangelicals with the notion of an eternal damnation.”4 The 1989 evangelical doctrinal caucus “Evangelical Affirmations” surprisingly debated this issue. “Strong disagreements did surface over the position of annihilationism, a view that holds that unsaved souls 1Clark H.

  • The Future of Southern Baptists: Biblical Mandates for What We
    1 The Future Of Southern Baptists: Mandates For What We Should Be In The 21st Century Southern Baptists have a colorful and fascinating history by any standard of measure. From the Convention’s humble beginnings in Augusta, Georgia on May 8, 1845 (only 293 persons attended the Inaugural Convention and 273 came from 3 states: Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia),1 the Convention’s 2004 Annual could boast of 40 State Conventions, 1,194 Associations, 43,024 Churches and a Total Membership of 16,315,050. There were 377,357 Baptisms, and other additions totaled 422,350. Cooperative Program Giving for 2002-2003 was $183,201,694.14, and Total Receipts recorded was $9,648,530,640.2 This is quite impressive any way you look at it, and for all of this and more Southern Baptists give thanks and glory to God. We are grateful to our Lord for what He has done for us and through us. However, it is to the future that we must now look. In spite of periodic blips on the cultural and moral screen, our nation grows more secular and our world more hostile to “the faith once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). Southern Baptists, in the midst of the swirling tides of modernity, have attempted to stake their claim and send a clear message on who we are. The Conservative Resurgence initiated in 1979 charted the course, and I would argue the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 was something of a defining moment.3 Still, I am not convinced we have a clear 1 Leon McBeth, The Baptist Heritage (Nashville: Broadman, 1987), 388.

  • A Comparison of American Baptist and Southern Baptist Attitudes, Actions and Approaches Toward Environmental Issues
    ABSTRACT Baptist Environmentalisms: A Comparison of American Baptist and Southern Baptist Attitudes, Actions and Approaches Toward Environmental Issues Aaron Douglas Weaver, Ph.D. Mentor: Charles A. McDaniel, Ph.D. This dissertation articulates how and why Southern Baptists and American Baptists have addressed environmental issues during the critical second and third waves of environmental history. With the birth of the modern environmental movement as a logical starting point, Southern Baptist and American Baptist attitudes and actions concerning key environmental questions in American political and environmental history are examined. These include: population explosion (1960s), energy crises (1970s), environmental backlash (1980s) and international ecological concerns (1990s to present). This dissertation argues that Southern Baptists and American Baptists, while enjoying some similarities along the way and despite their shared Baptist heritage, have adopted and promoted very different environmentalisms. The findings from this comparative study reveal that these dissimilar environmentalisms are due to four factors relating to ethics, political engagement approaches, the regulatory role of government and attitudes toward advancements in science and technology. First, Southern Baptists and American Baptists have embraced disparate environmental ethics. Second, Southern Baptists and American Baptists have taken distinct political engagement approaches due to differing theological commitments. Third, Southern Baptists and American Baptists have adopted different attitudes about the appropriate regulatory role of government regarding environmental issues. Fourth and finally, Southern Baptists and American Baptists have held contrasting perspectives on prevailing scientific viewpoints and advancements in technology. These four factors offer answers to how and why these two related historic Protestant denominations have taken such divergent paths with regard to care of the environment or God’s creation.

  • Anabaptism and James Arminius: a Study in Soteriological Kinship and Its Implications 1
    Midwestern Journal of Theology 11.2 (2012): 54-87 Anabaptism and James Arminius: A Study in Soteriological Kinship and Its Implications 1 JERRY SUTTON Academic Dean Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Kansas City, MO 64118 [email protected] As research progresses many links are being discovered between English General Baptists as they emerged in the seventeenth century, and Continental Anabaptistism, particularly the Mennonites. The factuality of relationships of John Smyth, Thomas Helwys and others with the Dutch Mennonites are incontestable. Irvin Horst has done much spade-work to establish the presence and identity of Anabaptists in England during the Reformation era on the other side of the English Channel. 2 Nonetheless many scholars and particularly British scholars contend that the rise of the English Baptists was essentially independent from any Anabaptist influence. If anything, the theology of the English General Baptists-the most probable link to Anabaptists by either of the two ear­ ly branches-was molded not by the European Radical Reformation but 1 This article is based on research conducted by Dr. Sutton while studying with William R. Estep, noted Baptist historian of the Reformation and Anabap­ tist movements. 2 Tom Nettles, "Smyth and Helwys: The Key to Anabaptist-Baptist Rela­ tions," Southwestern Journal of Theology 19 (Fall 1976) :101-104; W.R.

Much evidence exists to support the contention that the English General Baptists were Arminian with respect to their theology.
